Benefits of technology

[0102]In the present invention, the object of overheat-activating the silica carrier is to provide the carrier surface with a high reactive group. It is reported (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118: 401) that when the drying temperature is 200 to 500° C., the easily removable hydroxyl group is removed from the surface reversibly to form a silicone group of low reactivity, but when the drying temperature is over 600° C., the hydroxyl group is forcedly removed and converted to water, thereby forming a silicone group of high ring stress and very high reactivity. A chemical activator may be used instead, to convert the functional groups on surface of the carrier into inert s

Problems solved by technology

In case of a homogenous polymerization, the formed polymers would stick on the reactor tank or adhere to the stirring puddle, which has serious influences on the normal operation of the reactor and the heat exchange of the reaction mass inside the reactor, thus hindering the continuous production in industry.
In addition, in the homogeneous catalyst system, a large amount of a co-catalyst, for example, methylaluminoxane, is required, thus increasing the production cost of polyolefins, and adversely influencing the properties of the products due to the large amount of co-catalyst introduced, in some cases, the aluminum component introduced during the polymerization process may have to be removed in a post-processing step, thus further increasing the process cost.
Furthermore, the phenomena of stick on the tank often occurs during the polymerization process.
In EP 685494, the bulk density of the polymerization product may be decreased by reacting methylaluminoxane with a hydrophilic oxide, using a polyfunctional organic cross-linking agent and then an activated MAO/metallocene complex, as a result, it is not appropriate for an industry use.
WO 97/26285 describes a method for preparing a supported metallocene catalyst under high pressure, resulting in a prolonged production cycle and lowered supporting efficiency.
But the supporting process is not economic.
However, this method needs a microwave generating apparatus and the operation is rather complicat

[0225]In the following examples, the method for supporting a nonmetallocene catalyst on a composite carrier of high activity comprises mainly the following steps:

[0226]Preparation of a Supported Catalyst:

[0227]Heat-activation of the carrier: ES70 type silica (Ineos Corp.) was fluidized and overheat-activated at a constant temperature of 650° C. under a nitrogen gas atmosphere for 6 hrs.

[0228]Preparation of a modified carrier: 2 g of the overheat-activated ES70 silica was added with 40 ml toluene under stirring, then added further with 10 ml TiCl4(5 v / v % TiCl4 hexane solution) and reacted at 20° C. for 16 hrs, then was washed and filtered with 20 ml×3 toluene, finally vacuum dried to obtain a modified carrier.

[0229]Preparation of a composite carrier: 2 g anhydrous magnesium chloride was added with 40 ml THF, and added dropwise with 5 ml absolute ethanol, after fully dissolved at 50° C. under stirring for 2 hrs, added further with 2 g of the modified carrier and kept on stirring at 5...

[0374]Preparation of a supported catalyst: ES70 model silica (a product of Crosfield Corp) was fluidized and activated at a constant temperature of 650° C. under a nitrogen gas atmosphere for 6 hrs. An analytic pure magnesium chloride was calcined at 500° C. for 3 hrs to obtain an anhydrous magnesium chloride. 3 g anhydrous magnesium chloride was added with 60 ml of a refined tetrahydrofuran(THF) under a nitrogen gas atmosphere (the respective content of water and oxygen is less than 5 ppm), then added dropwise with 2.5 ml of a refined absolute ethyl alcohol, added further with 3 g of the heat-activated ES70 carrier, then reacted at 20° C. under stirring for 18 hrs, the mixture was washed with 30 ml×4 toluene, and filtered, finally vacuum dried to obtain a composite carrier, 5 g. The composite carrier was added with 50 ml toluene, then added dropwise with 5 ml methylaluminoxane (10 wt % MAO toluene solution) and 25 ml TiCl4(5 v / v % TiCl4 hexane solution), and then reacted at 20° C. ...
